Saskatoon shifts into gear for Spring BYXE Week
May 1, 2026 - 10:00am
Saskatoon is set to see more bikes on the road as Spring BYXE Week returns May 9–17, inviting residents to rethink how they get around the city.
Organized by the City of Saskatoon in collaboration with Saskatoon Cycles, the week highlights cycling as a practical option for everyday travel, not just recreation. Activities throughout the week are designed to make riding a more viable option, whether it’s a short trip to work, school or nearby amenities.
A focal point of the week is Bike to Work Day on Thursday, May 14, when commuter stations will be set up across the city during peak hours. Riders can stop for light refreshments and connect with others choosing to travel by bike.
Beyond the events, the campaign reinforces a broader message: choosing to bike can reduce pressure on road networks, lower transportation costs and contribute to a quieter, cleaner urban environment. It also integrates physical activity into daily routines, which can improve both energy levels and overall well-being.
Residents who are new to cycling, or returning after a break, are encouraged to start with short, manageable trips. Planning ahead using Saskatoon’s cycling resources can help identify comfortable routes and build confidence over time. For longer distances, combining transit with cycling remains an option, as city buses are equipped with bike racks.
Participants are encouraged to document their rides and share them using #BYXE, contributing to a visible, community-wide snapshot of how people move through Saskatoon during the week.
Full event listings and participation details are available at saskatooncycles.org/spring-byxe.
